Ingredients

• 1 package graham crackers (about 9 crackers)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

3. Step 3: Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer in the prepared pan, covering the entire surface.
4. Step 4: Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
5. Step 5: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly.
6. Step 6: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Let them sit for a few minutes until the chocolate melts.

Tips & Variations

• For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped nuts over the melted chocolate before it sets.
• Use milk or dark chocolate chips if you prefer a different chocolate flavor.
• If graham crackers break, fill the gaps by breaking pieces into smaller chunks for an even layer.
• Line the pan with foil instead of parchment paper for easier lifting and cleanup.

Storage

Store the toffee bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for about a week. To enjoy, bring them to room temperature or briefly microwave on low to soften before serving.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

Yes, but reduce or omit any added salt in the recipe to avoid making the bars too salty.

What if my chocolate doesn’t melt evenly?

If the chocolate doesn’t spread smoothly, place the pan back in the warm oven for a minute or two to soften it, then spread again.
